I liked this book and thought I would be getting something different from the Usual Savich and Sherlock fare. The James Bond British spy type had my hopes up fine, and I know this is a transistional story to a new series. The international intrique was fine, but lighter than I expected. Overall I did enjoy this book, I usually do enjoy this author, but for something that proclaimed to be new, it was just more of the same. I shall wait for the next title and see what changes.
